Abstract: In order to provide a liner which can be used in place of existing type liners used in a closure for a container, a multiple layer liner sheet is coextruded in a manner wherein the outer layers are skin layers formed of a gas permeable material. These layers enclose a gas barrier layer and a foamed layer which respectively prevent the invasion of oxygen from the ambient atmosphere and remove oxygen from the head space to safeguard the contents of the container. The foamed layer provides the liner with the required resiliency, provides space for the inclusion of an adequate amount of oxygen scavenging material, and also provides a cellular structure which allows the gas molecules the freedom to move and quickly come into contact with the oxygen scavenging material. As the gas barrier layer is formed of a material which does not readily become permanently attached to the material from which the foam layer and skin layers are formed, tie layers of adhesive are formed on either side of the gas barrier layer to ensure integrity when the coextruded sheet is formed into individual liners.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau multistation commandé par la voix à reconnaissance vocale dépendante et indépendante du locuteur. A la condition que le réseau reconnaisse les éléments de vocabulaire, celui-ci exécute une fonction particulière. Le procédé consiste à recevoir un appel d'une origine particulière et à soumettre l'appel à la reconnaissance vocale indépendante du locuteur. Selon une procédure d'amélioration, en cas de détermination correcte du message, un gabarit associé à l'élément de parole reconnu est mémorisé et assigné à l'origine. Puis, le discours en provenance de la même origine est soumis, si possible, à la reconnaissance dépendante du locuteur par l'utilisation d'un ou plusieurs gabarits associés à cette station. On maintient en outre une procédure de secours de reconnaissance indépendante du locuteur pour toute station particulière de manière à répondre à toute défaillance de la reconnaissance dépendante du locuteur, tout en permettant de revenir à la procédure d'amélioration.

Abstract: Dans un réseau cellulaire de télécommunications, les interférences sur les liaisons ascendantes mesurées par une station de base dans une cellule cible et les interférences sur voie commune mesurées par des unités mobiles dans une cellule à voie commune peuvent être réduites en augmentant l'angle d'inclinaison de l'antenne de la station de base. Cet accroissement a cependant pour effet de réduire l'aire de couverture efficace de la cellule cible. Pour obtenir l'angle optimal d'inclinaison, on quantifie la réduction des interférences et la réduction de l'aire de couverture efficace pour plusieurs angles d'inclinaison de stations de base candidates. On peut ensuite établir un rapport entre la réduction des interférences et la réduction de l'aire de couverture efficace de la cellule cible pour chacune angles d'inclinaison des stations de base candidates. On identifie l'angle d'inclinaison optimal de la station de base comme étant celui qui présente le rapport entre la réduction des interférences et la réduction de l'aire de couverture efficace de la cellule cible le plus élevé.

Abstract: It has been determined that allergens, which are characterized by both humoral (IgE) and cellular (T cell) binding sites, can be modified to be less allergenic by modifying the IgE binding sites. The IgE binding sites can be converted to non-IgE binding sites by masking the site with a compound that prevents IgE binding or by altering as little as a single amino acid within the protein, most typically a hydrophobic residue towards the center of the IgE binding epitope, to eliminate IgE binding. The method allows the protein to be altered as minimally as possible, other than within the IgE-binding sites, while retaining the ability of the protein to activate T cells, and, in some embodiments by not significantly altering or decreasing IgG binding capacity. The examples use peanut allergens to demonstrate alteration of IgE binding sites. The critical amino acids within each of the IgE binding epitopes of the peanut protein that are important to immunoglobulin binding have been determined. Substitution of even a single amino acid within each of the epitopes led to loss of IgE binding. Although the epitopes shared no common amino acid sequence motif, the hydrophobic residues located in the center of the epitope appeared to be most critical to IgE binding.

Abstract: Disclosed are an ink composition which can satisfy, on a high level, various property requirements for ink compositions for use in ink jet recording (e.g., excellent ejection stability and realization of images free from feathering or color-to-color bleeding) and can realize good images by sublimation transfer. A sublimation transfer ink jet recording method using the ink composition is also disclosed. The ink composition comprises a heat transferable dye, a glycol ether, an acetylene glycol surfactant, and water. This ink composition is printed by ink jet recording onto an intermediate transfer medium to form a latent image on the intermediate transfer medium, and the intermediate transfer medium is then put on the surface of a receptor object, followed by heating of the intermediate transfer medium at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to sublimate the heat transferable dye and to deposit the sublimated dye onto the surface of the receptor object. This recording method can realize good transferred images suffering from minimized bleeding.

Abstract: In order to control the transmitting power provided for point-to-multipoint telecommunications links in a telecommunications system with wireless telecommunication and uncoordinated unlicensed system operation, without significant restriction of the transmitting range, use is made of the fact that the maximum number of mobile stations (MS1 . . . MSn) registered in a base station (BS1) is known. Thus, the base station knows at any time how many and which mobile stations are registered. If all mobile stations are registered (NACT=NSCHED), the base station can match the transmitting power to the mobile station received as the "weakest one". In other cases, if not all mobile stations are registered (NACT<>NSCHED), the base station will alternately transmit with the maximum transmitting. power for a predetermined first period of time and then with the reduced transmitting power, which matches the mobile station received as the "weakest one", for a predetermined second period of time.

Abstract: A method of removing salt from seawater to produce potable freshwater. Apparatus that may be used with the method includes a large metal cylinder, with open top and bottom ends, anchored to the sea floor offshore. Several pressure hulls may be attached to the side of the cylinder. Within each pressure hull there are several reverse osmosis devices ("RODs"), each containing a membrane that will allow water molecules, but not sodium and chlorine ions, to pass through. Due to the pressure differential, freshwater passes through the membranes by reverse osmosis, and is pumped out of the pressure hulls to a storage facility onshore. After equilibrium is reached, the pumps for the brine can be turned off, as gravity will cause brine to flow down from the pressure hulls through an opening in the bottom of the cylinder. Alternatively, a reverse osmosis system may be supported on an elevated undersea platform.
